Jesse Aycock - Flowers & Wounds (2014)

Jesse Aycock is a singer / songwriter from Tulsa, OK that has built a strong fan base both nationally and internationally. Highly-respected by his peers as well, Neal Casal, guitarist for Chris Robinson Brotherhood and Ryan Adams & The Cardinals recently had this to say, “I’ve known Jesse a long time. He’s great. He’s one of those guys who really deserves more recognition.”

His music is sweeping with beautiful melodies, old school tones, and lyrical depth that is remarkable for someone his age. His style touches on everything from traditional folk, psychedelic, country, and early rock, which makes him appealing to a wide audience.

Jesse’s latest release, “Flowers & Wounds”, was recorded at the legendary Church Studio in Tulsa, OK, owned in the 70’s by Leon Russell and later by Steve Ripley of the Tractors through the 90’s and early 00's. For the sessions, he brought in Neal Casal (Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Ryan Adams) on guitar and George Sluppick (Chris
Robinson Brotherhood, JJ Grey & Mofro, The City Champs) on drums, as well as Eric Arndt on bass. Other contributors include David Hidalgo (Los Lobos) on guitar, Tulsa legend Jimmy Karstein on percussion, and Al Gamble (The Bo-Keys, The City Champs) on B3.

Jesse will be on the road playing lap steel/pedal steel/guitar through early 2014 with Paul Benjaman Band, The Secret Sisters, and Hard Working Americans (Neal Casal, Dave Schools, Todd Snider, Duane Trucks, Chad Staehly). Look for Jesse out on his own tour throughout 2014.
